Why is that that teens and parents have problems communicating with each other? It is because they both worship power. You see we divide our attention between the power and the precision of our actions. Too much power and too little precision and you'd break your teeth with your spoon - which would be madness, wouldn't it?
We have to worship something and we can only be passionate about power or precision because we need both to live and act rationally, and so people divide up into those who worship high power and little precision and those who worship high precision and little power.

We just saw, power-worship is the inane choice. Since its crazy to worship power, then parents who worship power and give birth are in no position to bring up a child wisely. Let's face it, parents are into wild or raunchy sex and a baby is just the fall-out of their atomic-bomb sex, they have money so arrogantly assume they can bring a child into the world.

The parent becomes a tyrant because babies exist by pure precision and little power, and since their spirit is so fragile, a power-worshiping parent easily over-steps the mark and crushes this gentle spirit: like inadvertently stepping on an ant.
This tyrant and jailed child phenomenon is called a codependency. Such as 'codependent no more' Melody Beattie.
So the parent forces the child to experience a false Puberty. False Puberty is the point when the child realizes their self is narrowly defined, imprisoned, and they rebel to seek freedom. Hence teens sense parents are the enemy. Science describes this as hormonal changes and grow spurts and
